I made my 56th Birthday Cake and Cupcakes!

Hey, hey, hey! It's my 56th birthday today and my twins too. Happy Birthday Sharon!

I love making icing and decorating cakes so I always make my own birthday cake.

Here is what I came up with. It is a Golden Vanilla Cake with Wedding Bouquet/Vanilla flavored Buttercream colored a very pale lavender. I have a pink filling in it but I haven't got a photo yet because we won't be cutting into it until later tonight. :)

Enjoy the rest of your week,

Skull Halloween Nails! :o)

 I got these polishes from my son Ron, his wife Erica and my grandson Drew for Christmas. :)

 Application was three coats. Not the easiest to apply but very cool. :)

 I used Konad Plate M13!

Matches my shirt perfectly.

 Ooooooooooooooooooooooo! :)

Have a great weekend,

Susie

Halloween nails! :o)

Wow, it sure has been a while. 

I've been on the couch a lot. I pulled a muscle in my back and have been trying to get it all better. I've gained a few pounds back because I haven't been able to work out. I'm doing a bit better and even went for a Harley ride yesterday and today. Short ones. :)
I finally am getting a slight desire to do my nails and boy you can sure tell I'm out of touch with it. :)

Here is a Wet 'n' Wild polish that my daughter in law Erica gave me called "Lime Fizz". It is a sheer polish with glitter and it was three coats. I then Konaded with plate M28 and the black Konad polish. :)

Here is how you Konad!

Happy Halloween everyone! :)

Rose made of Tootsie Rolls (sort of)!

I was goofing around with tootsie rolls and thought I would try to make a rose with them. 

It didn't turn out too bad eh?

I took 7 tootsie's and microwaved them for just a few seconds to make them easier to flatten and then I flattened them all into rounds. I took the first one and curled it up into a bud looking thingy and then I took the rest and formed them around the bud.

I tried again yesterday and found the if you cut the circles in half that it looks better. 

I've got to practice more.

The most fun is eating them of course. :)

Enjoy the day,

Susie

Ideals to make your own cookie cutter!

Ok, I'm new at this and still trying to figure things out but hey we all start somewhere. I needed a Hello Kitty Cookie Cutter for a challenge I entered. I didn't have one and didn't want to wait to order one so I tried making my own. 

CLICK TO ENLARGE PHOTOS!

 This is my favorite Coffee Creamer. I used the container to cut strips of plastic out to shape around the Hello Kitty graphic I printed.

 You can get pretty long strips. These are shorter ones showing. You may have to re-cut the strip to straighten it. 

 Staples the ends together if you need more and to hold the piece together. You can place the plasitic or tin around the graphic to see how much you need before stapling. Next time I may try heavy duty tape.

 You can use Extra Thick Template Plastic that quilters use too. 

Here is a trash can one I worked on using template. Not as heavy as the Creamer container. :)

 This is the Hello Kitty I made using the Creamer Container. It worked great.

Hello Kitty Cookies. :) YUM!

 You can use about any soda can too.

 Be very careful with the cutting. I just used scissors. Use the middle part of course and don't try cutting the rounded tops and bottoms. :)

Trash can using a can. Not as sturdy as the Creamer Container.
You could probably buy flashing (roofing material) at your local hardware to cut strips out of too.
